The PCI Express layers consist of SerDes, Physical, Data Link and Transaction layers. The PES24N3A can operate either as a store and forward switch or a cut-through switch depending on the packet size and is designed to switch memory and I/O transactions. It supports eight Traffic Classes (TCs) and one Virtual Channel (VC) with sophisticated resource management. This includes system selectable algorithms such as round robin, weighted round-robin, and strict priority schemes guaranteeing bandwidth allocation and/or latency for critical traffic classes in applications such as high throughput 10 Gigabit I/Os, SATA controllers, and Fibre Channel HBAs. Processor Product Description Utilizing standard PCI Express interconnect, the PES24N3A provides the most efficient high-performance I/O connectivity solution for applications requiring high throughput, low latency, and simple board layout with a minimum number of board layers. It provides 12 GBps (96 Gbps) of aggregated, full-duplex switching capacity through 24 integrated serial lanes, using proven and robust IDT technology. Each lane provides 2.5 Gbps of bandwidth in both directions and is compliant with PCI Express Base specification 1.1.
